Lol we all know what Vijay , Dhawan and Rahul did in South Africa. At least pujara outscored them.

Nah in spite of Vijay having such a poor series in SA, Che didn't outscore him. Vijay has pedigree, was top scorer in England last time (400+ runs) and 2nd top scorer in Aus (480 runs). Pujara has failed abroad every single time since that 2013 SA series. KLR has potential, Dhawan is in the form of his life and on flattish pitches can be a game changer. FGS even Ashwin and Bhuvi regularly outbat Che overseas, Ash even outbatted him last county season.

He looked decent before the run out and got a terrible lb decision in the first innings. These early season conditions are challenging for anyone. Low scores all around the country. 

Ishant scored 60. why such a difference ? I know English pitches tough only  during first two session of the match. But seems like his team mates are scoring runs as well.

Well neither of his dismissals in this match were down to poor batting against the moving ball. You mention Ishant well our tail got important runs as well once the ball was older and there was less movement off the pitch and in the air. All of our top order struggled, although top order runs have been a problem for us for a while.

zen, he is not there to meet goals but as alternate next best option since IPL teams didnt pick him. Else he would be happy warming bench (in squad, since he may not be in first 11) in some IPL bench and earning bench money

In this case his goal would be to also use the opportunity to prepare for Eng tour

Financial stability is important. Just because you play county doesn't guarantee you do well and the pay you get is very less. People have went county because they are not picked for IPL. No Indian cricketer currently playing in county has choose county over IPL.  Vijay is in wrong side of 30's. Sometimes players have to be selfish for their family. Everything is not black and white.
